The Forest of Enchantment got Frozen in my latest craft project…
The very first doll room I made was The Forest of
Enchantment living room. It was inspired by a stage show I had seen at
Disneyland Paris which featured Rapunzel, Merida and Pocahontas. I loved the
show and made the room as a little tribute to it and as a way to display those
dolls. However over time this room feel out of use and strayed away from its intended
purpose. Rather than just put it in the recycling I decided to retheme it into
a Frozen doll room.
First step was to strip back the room to just a paper
covered box. I chose to keep the green floral wall as it reminds me a little of
Frozen Fever. I recovered the other
wall with a snowflake patterned scrapbook paper. I used a dark wood scrapbook
paper on the floor and a lighter wood scrapbook paper as a skirting board.
I mounted a picture of the Arendelle castle onto another piece
of wood print scrapbook paper for a window and then glued it into the box.
Using a hot glue gun, I glued a piece of sequin fabric to
the box as a curtain and to help soften the divide between the two wall papers.
I also glued a string of silver beads to the box, these were part of the old
Forest of Enchantment room but I think they sort of look like lights and I felt
they fit the general feel of the Frozen
room. A selection of pictures has also been glued onto the wall, I initially
considered adding more but decided not to so that I have the option to add more
at a later date.
The basic room was compete so I could move the furniture
into the room.
This couch was from a pack of doll sized IKEA furniture. I
used a piece of white fabric with a black print as a blanket thrown on the
couch, I chose this fabric as it’s relatively neutral in contrast to a lot of
the pattern throughout the room. I also placed some mini cushions I had made
previously onto the couch. In front of the couch is a brown faux fur rug which
was just cut out from a piece of faux fur that I’d used in a previous craft
project.
Every room always needs just a few little extra items to
help finish it off and bring the set to life. I like adding things like this to
add a little more detail into a doll room. The digital clock and the box of
tissues are both from the Disney Happy Places blind boxes I collected.
With the Frozen doll room now complete all that was left to
do was move in some dolls. So here’s Anna and Kristoff on the couch with Sven.
